Novel High Temperature-Oxidation-Resistant Nanocomposites Developed by Nanocomposite Electrodeposition

Abstract

Formation of a protective scale such as chromia or alumina is a prerequisite for an excellent
oxidation performance of high-temperature materials. Based on this principle, a novel concept of designing
chromia- or alumina-forming nanocomposites by means of nanocomposite electrodeposition of Ni with Cr
or/and Al nanoparticles were proposed. A brief review on the high temperature oxidation performance of
such novel electrodeposited nanocomposites like Ni-Cr, Ni-Al and Ni-Cr-Al is presented.
